I am Human, Not a Stone. Hey, there! 26F, Master's Stud here. They say “HS Life” is supposed to be the most colorful chapter when it comes to love. Me.......? Zero. In Grade 8, I secretly had a crush on a classmate. 8 years later, I confessed to him through a PDF I sent via PM, then I deleted our convo before he could even see it. Fast forward, during college I had an MU but he was too young so I unfriended him peace of mind first. Now at work, I had an 8-month unspoken connection with a 29M colleague. Turns out he was already with a 27F colleague who was his friend. After 3 months of being official, they got engaged right away. Then 3 months later, he reached out to me again—he was really a total red flag. Thank God I never entertained him or gave him my attention. There are 2 other colleagues who like me too but for almost a year, none of them had the courage to court me, so I just focus on work. I'm the middle child out of 13 but I feel like the eldest, first grad in the family. We don't open up to each other so even my gyne condition, I deal with it alone. I'm an introvert, minimalist, conservative. Is there something wrong with me or will I just grow old without a partner?

Focus on your life and career. Life won’t give you a partner just because you desperately want one. Relax and enjoy life.

Babe I am 28F and I am also thinking the same. But remember desperation attracts wrong partner, you should patiently wait for a right person to show up. Doesn’t matter if it takes ages because, a right person is worth it.

You are only 26, highly educated, and clearly very emotionally mature. Please don’t rush your timeline.Your HS life didn't have romance because you were meant for bigger things. The fact that colleagues like you but are scared to court you just means you hold yourself with high dignity, which is a strength, not a flaw. Take a deep breath. You won't grow old alone, you are just weeding out the wrong ones early. Please take care of your health first, and consider opening up to a trusted professional or friend about your medical condition. Your well being comes before any relationship

Enjoy your single life. Get a new hobby. Make new friends. Focus on your career and buy a house of your own. You are better off without men and the difficulties that come along with being In a relationship.
